Introduction

The Atmel AVR is the name for a family of inexpensive and powerful microcontrollers. Other sections of this site, as well as a number of other locations on the web such as the AVR Freaks site, have project ideas and suggestions pertaining the the AVR microcontroller.

Our specific focus in this section, is with the particulars of AVR development under the Linux platform.

Tools

Covers setup and use of an AVR development system using open source and free (as in free speech) software.

Describes tools and techniques used to debug and simulate AVR code.

Our AVR Programmer HOWTO describes the process of programming AVR microcontrollers (writing to the various flash and eeprom memory within) and the hardware and software used to do so when working in a Linux development environment.

Provides the schematics and PCB artwork to build your own AVR In-System Programmer based on the AVR910 appnote. Includes parts lists and construction hints for two distinct programmers.

Techniques

Discusses and demonstrates the use of the AVR LibC C library.

Here you will find information on how to customize and use our AVR project Makefile template to easily organize and build your AVR projects while keeping your typing fingers from getting tired. More information...
